Rep. Pascrell and NJDOT Commissioner Fox unveil safety improvements to Midland Crossing

in Elmwood Park

 

(Elmwood Park) – Congressman Bill Pascrell, New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Commissioner Jamie Fox, and NJ TRANSIT Executive Director Ronnie Hakim today unveiled safety improvements made to Midland Avenue railroad crossing in Elmwood Park.

NJDOT has been working closely with NJ TRANSIT, Bergen County, local officials and Congressman Pascrell’s office to improve safety at this crossing. This project consists of a queue cutter traffic signal, a new crossing surface, and a new \”DO NOT BLOCK THE BOX\” surface treatment. The queue cutter system ties the grade crossing signals to the stoplights at nearby intersections to help prevent traffic from backing up onto the tracks.

Taxpayers brace for hit from Lone Star Rail

By Kenric Ward | Texas Watchdog.org

\”This is how absurd governments can be when it comes to rail,\” said Randal O’Toole, a senior fellow at the free-market Cato Institute.
